Newark, N.J., Mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Cory Booker had his Twitter dalliances with a Portland stripper exposed by Buzzfeed, with their privates tweets published for the world to see. But the "scandal" is merely titillation by association. There's no evidence that Booker, who is single, ever tried to take their relationship beyond the tweets. And Booker's team has taken the news in stride. "The only mildly surprising thing about this story is the news that there's a vegan strip club in Portland," his campaign said.
